Clashes have flared along the Lebanon-Israel border, killing five Hezbollah fighters. That s the largest number in a single day since the militant group and Israeli military started clashing last week. Israeli forces and armed groups in Lebanon on Tuesday continued to engage in low-level skirmishes since the outbreak of the latest war in Gaza. An anti-tank missile fired from Lebanon landed in the town of Metula in northern Israel on Tuesday. Three people were wounded. The Lebanese militant group Hezbollah claimed responsibility. State-run media in Lebanon say Israel responded by striking several areas along the border in southern Lebanon with artillery fire and white phosphorus.
Cross-border fire has been ongoing between Lebanon’s Hezbollah movement and Israel in southern Lebanon since Hamas’ surprise attack on Israel last weekend.
